The
Nokia 3310 has been one of the most popular mobiles of all time,
so it seems mean to award it just one star. However, the truth is
that the 3310 cannot compare with modern phones: it's big and heavy,
has hardly any features, mediocre battery life, and is not as reliable
as many people would like to believe. The newer Nokia
3100 is a much better choice.
Features
of the Nokia 3310 include:
- Predictive
text messaging
- 35

Great little phone, had mine a few months now - no complaints whatsoever.
Considering it's size and cost, it's very comparable to a lot of
the similar (but a lot more expensive) phones in its class. This
phone also has heaps of style, so you can customise it to look just
about however you want - business, sophisticated, fun.. etc. Definately
one to consider if upgrading - and a lot more reliable that those
flip phones!!

theres nothing really that exciting about this phone, ive had it
for about 3 years because i havent had the chance to afford a better
one. it takes ages to open messages, it thinks for a long while,
and its getting worse too. the phone weighs a heap, and its pretty
bulky for today, its annoying to carry around. if i was an electronic
dummy getting a first mobile, i'd get this one, because it is so
basic and "user friendly". but otherwise, i wouldnt recommend getting
this phone.

id say this phone was very ahead of its time when it first came
out. it was slightly bulkier than the 8210, but alot cheaper and
was in fact decent value. had some really cool features, including
the profiles and the screensaver pictures, which were things that
other affordable nokias lacked at the time. i havent used this phone
for 3 years and have had about 5 handsets since then. i can honestly
say that this was the phone i really did appreciate at the time
of owning it.

I had a Nokia 3310 for 2 years and replaced it with a samsung A800
last christmas. The Nokia 3310 is a classic phone. Its good features
are : long lasting battery, extremely easy to use, changeable phone
covers. It can`t be a bad phone if people still use them surely?
It never let me down once. I would say this a good phone for anyone
who doesnt use there phone much or wants a simple phone. If they
still them, do they?? Its a good phone but unfortunatly i think
its days will be over this time next year - but what a classic phone!!

Here's the thing. This phone is a great phone, basiclly just a workhorse
you know? Weighs an absolute tonne and has vitually no modern features.
I have had mine for 4 years and I'm upgrading. Anyone considering
buying this phone should opt for something a little more modern
because this thing is a dinosaur. If however you do want to go as
cheap as possible beware. The charger blows after a couple of years
and doesnt work, and screen WILL crack and nokia WONT replace it
and it WILL delete names and stuff unexpectably. A very Nice phone,
which was extreamly practable in 2001 but in todays world it should
only really be bought as an antique.

Mine has taken a lickin' and kept on tickin' for 2.5 years now -

freak's phone - it only does the basics but does them very well.
The almost infinite customisability (is that a word?! :p ) of it
just adds to its charm - I've had every kind of cover you could

I had this phone for 3 years and still goin strong. After countless
times of dropping it off my doubledecker bed, contact with water,
it still works perfectly! There were occasional glitches like "hanging",
but it happens very rarely. Very easy to use compared to other phones
during its launch. Heck, my gramma can use it perfectly! In conclusion,
a very loyal phone...if you bought it from an authorised Nokia dealer!

No matter what others say, this is one of the best phones available
for now. Nokia has the best software for phones and that's why it's
very reliable, also the menus are great. This phone gives you the
feeling of reliability and it is also functional, and it is kinda
cheap. I had lots of phones and this is one of the best. Changeable
covers, good ringtones so if you want to get a good phone don't
hesitate. For a better feeling try changing the plastic buttons
with rubber ones (those that look like the 3410's)... mail me!

Me and my husband have these phones and they were fine till we'd

even when the battery has been fully charged. Even bought new batteries
to see if it was that, but they are still as bad and not worth the
time and money. Best place for them is the bin. Got a siemens A55

Okay... I know EVERYONE'S got this phone and it's one of the most
popular choices. But the covers are changeable so you can change
the style of your phone as many times as you want. The ringtones
are quite good and there's loads to choose from and you can also
compose your own. Also there are some reasonably good games incase
your bored...really bored! (Actually I'm addicted to snake but hey!)
And you can have pictures as your screensaver. So what I'm trying
to say is that it's a popular choice because it's one of the most
reliable phones i've ever owned (and god have i owned a lot of phones)
and when dropped it still works, ive dropped mine about 5 times
in the last few days and the case came off but no damage! All in
all, this is a good phone! Buy it if you want something simple and
reliable.

Hello, My name is Ryan Murphy, I like this phone abit, it has all
the details. Such as, Text messaging, ringing other people and Games.
the games are great, you can play Snake 2, Space impact, Bantumi
and pairs 2. You can compose your own ringtones and go on a website
called www.mrtones.com to get free ringtones. you get loads of cool
ringtones such as, merry xmas and loads of cool ones. The screensavers
aren't very good but if your looking for a phone that's pure and
simple. Just get the nokia 3310, with an amount of 15 buttons to

can personalize it very easily with covers, logos, picture messages,
tones & screensavers. The only thing is, when you see everyone else
with their camera & color phones, yours will seem v.boring. I've

I've had my 3310 for about 2 years now. I like the changeable faceplates
- i have a spiderman one, although they don't fit on tight enough
- it needs a rubber seal as it gets dusty inside quickly. I have
dropped it quite a few times and it works fine although about once
a week the screen goes a little fadded, but all i do is hit it and
it goes back to normal. Vodafone sent me a handsfree head set for
my 3310, but, even though the phone hasn't been for a swim its been
'water damaged' and the hands free wont work. There is a slight
software bug in the menu numbering system, it misses 13 and goes
on to 14 for the sim2 service, and there is no numbering for the
sim2 services. A nice phone that fits in your levi's pocket.

iv had this fone for 3 years and it has never once let me down and
still looks cool after all these years. they are cheap, easy to
use, reliable and are small enough to go in pockets and bags without
geting lost, the buttons are so easy to press and this fone has
excellent games...i'll never let go of it for another fone...eva.

I've had this phone for over 2 years now and have had no problems
whatsoever with it. It's a great, basic phone and if you dont want
all those fancy features then go for this one. My only complaint
is that it only holds 10 texts, which if you send/receive a lot
each day your constantly having to delete messages, tho this is
only a minor complaint. 5 stars from me because, even tho its very
basic, it does what it does well. The only reason I'm going to upgrade
soon is simply because I want a camera phone. But if your wanting
a good basic phone, perhaps a first phone, then go for the 3310.

I have had my nokia 3310 for one year and i hadn't experienced any
trouble with it, just recently i had it sent in for repairs, for
a faulty screen, i received it back and two days later i sent it
in for repais again because it was giving reception problems. This
is a great phone to have, but it's alot more trouble than what it
is worth.

This phone is 100% quality. Lets face it wot do u realy need a fone
for, texting and making and recieving calls, not all these useless
feutures u see on the new phones. The 3310 is the best for makin
calls and texts, its so simple to use 1 button does everything even
my nan could use it. IT doesnt look that bad either and if you really
want ther are thousands of covers you can get for it. Its not to
big, its not to small and the price is fantastic. There is no need
to be ripped off with prices up to £300 for useless feutures such
as bluetooth, cmaeras...etc.

i've had this phone two years now and let's just say it's worn out
its welcome. at first it was really good and worked really well,
admittedly it's very durable, i have smashed the screen once when
i dropped it off a podium in a nightclub, but that is unusal! i've
chucked it about and it doesn't break..BUT after two years it's
just looking really old bulky and boring. my main reason for changing
phones however is that the star button has stopped working properly,
which is pretty damn annoying if u wanna lock your phone or use
predictive text! it's startiong to happen to the other buttons too
i don't know why and i don't care coz i'm trading in the ugly block
of nokia for a cute little samsung, yay!

This phone is really great. Have been using it for two years..will
change to 6800 or 5100. I have several complaints about text messaging..for
you who use text message...this can be unreliable at times because
of weak signal at times and can only support up to 460 characters
or so. Also, unreliable to deliver more than 300 characters depend
on the signal. Some people didnt get my long msgs...mostly short
ones. And also the short battry life too. This is still pretty good
and cheap.

this phone is one of the best phones that they are in terms of value
for money. It is affordable and is the cheapest phone on the market.
It has games and all the features you will need/ever use. Pity it
doesn't have wap but 90% of people who have this phone don't even
need it so i think that this phone is built to perfection and I
am glad about the changes they made to the 3410 which is the upgrade
but yet the price goes up. If you have a low budget, get this phone!

I've had this phone for two years now. I'll soon be upgrading, probably
to the 6610. Anyway, overall the phone has been great. Its definitely
user friendly, as most Nokia's are. The phone has all the functions
most people would need, I'd still recommend this phone today for
people new to phones eg grandparents/kids etc. The phone is quite
durable; I've dropped mine numerous times and for the most part
it keeps on functioning as normal. I did happen to break the screen
once when I dropped it on the road, but I think that was just bad
luck. Although the screen was cracked, the phone continued to operate!
As others have found, batterly life can deplete quite quickly, but
replacement batteries are relatively cheap. If your phone came with
a Nickel Metal Hydride battery, replace it with a Lithium Ion battery.
Definitely improved performance from Li-Ion batteries. The phone
is great. Its not the most stylish out there, and if you want the
latest and greatest model, this isn't your thing. BUT, if you want
a good phone that is reliable and damn easy to use, you can't go
past the Nokia 3310.

old one those big bulky motorolas. i like its design could do with
some more imaginative call signs but it does everything i need but
i dont need one of these new phones that does everything because
i wouldnt use all the features so i will stick with a simple basic
nokia that is easy to use and does what i need to do on it.

I think the 3310 is good value if you only want to use a phone for
calling and texting or if it's your first mobilephone and you're
under 12.The only fault is that very rarely it unlocks or phones
people when it 's meant to be locked but thats if the buttons are
being pressed.

I have had my phone now just over two years and the only critism
I would have is the battery life. I have now replaced it with a
longer life battery and it only needs charging once or twice a week
instead of every other day. Other than that it does everything I
could want from a phone and I can even send ring tones to other
nokia phones which you can't do from the 3330 as there is no composer
on it. I think that this is also the case on some of the newer Nokia
phones. Overall, I am really happy and have no intention of changing
it in the near future.

The Nokia range on a whole are outstanding phones. I have progressed
through the ranks 5210 3210 and now the 3310. I digressed and went
with a Samsung T100, all looks and no substance. The Nokia is sturdy,
easy to use and totally reliable, plus you can dolly it up to your
own likes.

I have had this phone a year, after buying it purely because it
was the cheapest in the shop! I have been extremely impressed with
the durability of the 3310, after being down several toilets, the
sea, the river and dropped countless times, sometimes from great
heights. I have broken several covers but the actual phone is in
great working order! It is a very handy little phone if you want
nothing more than basic functions. Wish me luck with my new 7250!!!

Now on my third 3310, and haven't had any major problems with any
of them. An easy to use phone, and still doen't look outdated(I
even went back to using it after upgrading to a 3410). Only minor
grumble is the battery life, the thing needs charged evry two days
no matter how much you use it. All in all though a good reliable

Well, ive had my faithful nokia 3310 3 years now and im finding
it hard to part with it(although im about to part with it and get
either a sagem v200 or a sagem s300). is is very robust as i haev
dropped this phone on many, many occasions and its stil all fits
back into working order. if you are a bit clumsy and are worried
about dropping or breaking your phone, then this is the phone for
you. also, if u dont want your phone to be stolen, this is the phone
for you as nobody would ever steal it as it is way to common! it
does everything you need a phone to do apart from WAP really. who
really needs a fancy camera on their phone?? you could jsut be normal
and use an actual camera instead!! its great for calls and ive alwyas
had a signal :-)
